I saved right when I entered Page's area so that I could get all three endingw without having to replay the game (which I did anyways). I suppose I liked the "Merge with Helios" ending best, mainly because it was king of like the ending of the first GITS. The creaters of the game apparentl...

But if you absolutely had to grade the two on some form of attractiveness IMO SAC motoko would come out on top as at least she smiles occasionally. Being distant and stoic all the time like movie motoko may be cool from a design point of view, but it's not an attractive quality by far. Manga Motoko...

I usually get both. I like the individual issues because they each have a unique cover (some of which did not appear in the TPB), and because they appreciate in value much more quickly. As for finding the singel issues of the original GITS manga, good luck. I've only been able to find two and they w...

This subjstance is probably some kind of superconductor. There are several kinds of ceramic superconductors already in existance. Some of them maintain a charge's strength over a theoretically infinate distance, but require super cool conditions.

The show came before all the merchandise (ie. the card game), so it's not like it was just a marketing ploy, like say the Yu-gi-oh show.

HTML is a language (HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language), but, from what I've heard from my Computer Science friends, it is one of the worst.

It doesn't surprise me that they pushed the release date back. MMI's original official release date (it had had several tentative release dates previously) was supposed to be in august or september of 2002, but wasn't actually released untill january of 2003.

From what I can tell, in GITS, a cyberbrain is created when micromachines bind to the grey matter of the brain that is open to the venricles and the sub-arachnoid space. These micromachines pick up on the electrical impulses associated with neural function, allowing an individual with a cyberbrain t...

Speaking of hair-growth technology, I saw on Good Morning America (or something like that) that some scientists had discovered how to clone hair follicles and implant them into bald guy's heads. This technology supposedly creates naturally growing hair.

I don't get to read as much as I used to, or rather I read a whole lot more, but it's all text books. I've always liked dystopian novels such as 1984 and, my personal favorite, Brave New World. I liked William Gibson's Neuromancer a lot, but I didn't like the voodoo themes in Count Zero and Mona Lis...

I was wrong about the class thing. You don't start of with a class, but you get one later on.

Intron Depot 5: Yamataiko

No news on its release date yet, but it is supposed to contain artwork from the Orion RPG and Togi-Hime Zohushi (from which the images for the 2004 calender were taken). I also found an image of the front cover on the following web site:

The way that I understand cyber brain viruses is that they affect the cyber part of the cyber brain and that cyber part then affects the organic part, thereby altering behavior and though processes. If this is true, then the virus would be able to copy perfectly in the artifical part of the cyber br...

I've seen the movie (as well as the entire series). The movie comes several years after the series and brings closure the the story. What I find hilarious about the movie is that it has Nazis in it, and our world's version of the FMA world feurer is a jewish movie producer. For anyone who plans on w...
